Since January, over 400 children from Liverpool and Manchester have taken part in the project, having fun, developing their self-esteem and connecting with nature through Forest School.
Forest School is a unique ethos that provides regular opportunities for children to succeed and grow in confidence, through hands-on learning in a natural setting. Over a number of weeks, children are given the chance to play and explore their own interests, allowing them to direct their own learning and develop a relationship with nature. Activities such as shelter-building, green woodworking, natural art and fire-lighting, offer many benefits to children’s development including stimulating creativity, building self-esteem, improving team work skills, increasing physical exercise and reducing stress.
